Did you read that Hemingway’s epic novel about an aging code monkey?
“The Old Man and the C”?

Didn’t the Thin Man design have to be rejected because of too high spontaneous fission of plutonium?

Sorry to confuse you about alcoholic wisecracking detectives, should I have provided a proper link the first time?

Did everyone have a Happy New Year? And are you all traveling back home today too, to give The Kids a day in the house before Monday?

Didn’t some of us have a kid who put off until the very last moment two more college apps due at midnight last night, so we were stuck at home?

Both were afterthoughts – what-the-heck applications after finding out the Early Action acceptance, so not the end of the world – but shouldn’t one do one’s best work always, no matter how low the stakes?

Anyone else have a family member send an email to all members of the family screaming that she would only celebrate one holiday during the entire holiday season (guess which one?!) because to do otherwise was un-American and “politically correct”, then proceed to ignore Christmas entirely but send 4 different emails proclaiming Happy New Year to the same email list?

(I have Orthodox friends who haven’t even celebrated Christmas yet. This sort of nonsense about there being only one true day to celebrate at this time of year really gets me mad.)

Since the Pilgrims put Christmas celebrators in the stocks, can I assume that’s the unAmerican holiday they were going on about?

Are we talking the Cumberbatch stuff or the American with, with Lucy Liu as Watson?

Aren’t I upset? Do you think it will be out before it’s released on DVD? Do I need to avoid spoilers until then?

Frumious Bandersnatch, surely? Although I haven’t I heard that the Liu thing got better after a ropey start (not that I’ve ever seen it)?

If it didn’t happen with this one, wouldn’t it happen with the next one anyway?

I dunno, would it? Honestly, do I care much about spoilers, because maybe I don’t? Wouldn’t I watch it, even if I had HBO and saw it as it aired and read the books later on anyhow, because reading is a pleasure, even if I know the outcome?

Doesn’t it appear from this

  1. A Game of Thrones August 1996
  1. A Clash of Kings February 1999
  2. A Storm of Swords November 2000
  3. A Feast for Crows November 2005
  4. A Dance with Dragons July 2011

And with The Winds of Winter still not out, that A Dream of Spring won’t be released until ~2020, with no chance HBO will wait 4 or 5 years for the final series…?

So hasn’t it always been obvious that the TV series would go past eventually at 1 book/year?

Aren’t I waiting until all the books are done before I start reading them, although I started watching the TV at series 4? Don’t I dislike having to wait when reading epic fantasy series?

More importantly…does your sword need a whetstone?

Doesn’t that sound…hurty?

Although it’s Tyrion, doesn’t he actually mean a sword and not a penis?
